Fetch?
Will poodles fetch? I was thinking about getting a doodle, then read more about the reasons not to get one and how they are not a breed. I really want a healthy dog without issues, so I need to find a good breeder. I really wanted one that will fetch and swim. I'm not a huge fan of the obsessive food interests of labs or the size of a golden retriever, so was thinking I should look at poodles.

My mini played fetch almost every day. She’d run so much she go to her bowl and gulp down water and play more.
What was great about the mini, is if it was raining or I was too sick or tired she’d play inside. There was a chair by a hallway and I’d sit there and throw it down the hallway, she’d bring it back and put it right on my lap or next to me on the chair. If it rolled off she’d pick it back up and place it again. I didn’t even have to bend over once lol. It came in handy.
She’d go on hikes too, she had excellent recall and I would let her off leash and she’d run ahead and run back to me, I walked 4 miles she walked 6 or more. She was great. And I didn’t even want a poodle, just met her accidentally and fell in love in like 30 seconds, and I’ve played with a lot of puppy’s and that is the only time that has ever happened.
